It's just funny how I get more money the more I get traffic.
Skimming = more traffic
When I make money the sponsor makes money
Skimming = more money for sponsor
I can't understand the hard thing about this.
Let's start from the beginning of a new site, and say the owner has 0 traffic and doesn't know google.
How is he to promote a sponsor? Getting traffic? Great! Let's do that? How? Let's put a link to shemp.com, link-o-rama.com, worldsex.com and a few other places and see the traffic flow in? No? Why not? because you're not sending them anything.. uh oh.. where can you send when you have none?
Let's buy some!! okay. We buy 100k hits. We have a fucking great site with a toplist. We take 10k hits/day.. out of those 10k, 3k clicks to toplist and the sites on the other end send 4k back to us since our traffic was targeted (toplist, not blind). So, that 10k purchased traffic ends up being 14k right? Now this goes on for 10 days and our traffic is nice and growing. The feeding ends!! oh no.. say we have 20k hits/day out of which 10k click on toplist (very generous number). We get 12k back.. So our traffic drops, right?
This is what happens after the feeding ends:
day 1: 20k in -> 10k trades -> 40k galleries
day 2: 12k in -> 6k trades -> 24k galleries
day 3: 8k in -> 4k trades -> 16k galleries
day 4 : 6k in -> 3k trades -> 12k galleries
etc etc.. get the point?
NOW.. let's say that same site skims
we buy that 10k/day for 10 days
The first day we send out 15k hits to trades of the 10k we get in.. and so forth, traffic keeps growing = long term money
this is what happens when feeding ends (although the numbers would be bigger than 20k in the beginning.. just making this so it's comparable). Also as the traffic is skimmed it's lower prod on the other site, lesser returns.
day 1: 20k in -> 30k trades -> 30k galleries
day 2 : 25k in -> 33k trades -> 33k galleries
day 3: 27k in -> 35k trades -> 33k galleries
Can you NOW figure out why it'd make more money for the sponsor? ..or do I have to draw you a picture? You also need to stop thinking this TGP as a whole, but instead concentrate on ONE tgp.
I'm thru with this thread.. if you don't get it, you don't get it... but as a sponsor I have NO objections whatsoever on having our hosted galleries on a tgp that skims 90% 80% 10% as long as the thumbs go to our galleries or trades. it's free traffic. We're not paying the bandwidth on the thumb they have on their site
